This budget deal was Boehner’s last (one of) shot at conservatives and it’s also setup to make Paul Ryan’s job as Speaker slightly easier until after we have a new POTUS. All the economic talking points republicans and conservatives have to attack the left and Hillary Clinton have now been squashed with this deal. All the runaway spending and economic damage the lefts fingerprints are on have been wiped clear with this deal where Ryan himself says the process “stinks”.
This budget deal will guarantee the national debt goes over $20 trillion while it will “increase spending by at least $80 billion over the next two years above current spending limits, split equally between domestic and defense spending. It would also increase funding for the military’s Overseas Contingency Operation slush fund by $32 billion, meaning the total spending hike would top $112 billion. More domestic spending for Democrats. More defense spending for Republicans. Everyone wins except the taxpayers.” -CATO
Wouldn’t be surprising if the Est GOP (progressives) conspired this since their guy, Jeb Bush, isn’t doing well for 2016 being shown up by Trump, Carson, Cruz and the others. Yes I’m suggesting progressive republicans are so vindictive they would throw an election rather than have any of the current leaders as POTUS!
The debt is unsustainable, we’re borrowing money we can’t pay back to stay afloat, there isn’t enough money in the entire world to pay our debt. A restart is inevitable, but the longer it’s delayed the worse it will be for all of us. Many ask with all these debates going on who will be the winner and the nominee? Doesn’t matter how these debates or election go, in the end We the People will remain the big losers.
